Event Overview:
The Women’s Film Preservation Fund (WFPF) of New York Women in Film & Television (NYWIFT) has been dedicated to ensuring that the contributions of women to film history are not forgotten. To date, the WFPF has safeguarded over 150 films in which women played key creative roles, spanning from the silent era, to works by early feminists, women of color, social activists, and other visionary artists. These films represent an invaluable and irreplaceable part of our nation’s cultural legacy. In celebration of the 30th anniversary of the Women’s Film Preservation Fund, we are proud to showcase two pioneering works from the early 1900s—a testament to the fact that women have been leading and shaping the film industry since the dawn of cinema.
